AF has not arrived, if anything the spotting I had (which was fresh) has gone completely! I rang the clinic, they said to do a HPT tomorrow and scan on Friday if it hasn't started. I'm now 14 DPO. I need to just get started now though TBH, the waiting is making me anxious! I was saying to hubby last night eck should be we a CU loan and convert to ICSI! (Of corse he thinks Im NUTS!)

Congrats on such fantastic results everybody, you must be all really delighted.

Hope you get great news tomorrow Jasdow !

Delighted to hear the last one joined the pack Xanthe !! 6 Embies is a great number to be sending off for PGS. Must give you great hope of getting at least one normal back if not more. Hope the 3 weeks doesnt drag too much for you.

How are you doing lulu ? Has AF arrived yet ? Im in for my scan in the morning... hope all goes ok.

How are you doing Minnie ? Are you finding the injections ok ? Its my first IUI as well so Im a little nervous about starting them. When are you back in for your next scan ?

Fantastic news day for the thread! Delighted so many beautiful little eggs were collected! Please god now they are developing into lovely little maybe babies!!

Sera, I'm sorry to hear EC was uncomfortable! That happened me too, apparently not a patch on childbirth mind you (I had a sun roof delivery!). Mind yourself this evening! Hopefully a nice high fertilization rate tomorrow for you! I had 6 eggs, 4 mature....balled my eyes out at that at the time, and sure it all turned out fine in the end!

Jasdow I hope you're 13 mighty embies are flying along and you get the news you'd like tomorrow!!!

Xanthe, you have done amazingly well! Congrats on your 6 blasts that is an incredible outcome!!!

Fantastic news Alloverit and Serasmith! Absolutely delighted for you! :) Brilliant to have that part over with. You'll pass me out now as I have to wait three weeks for pgs results.

Serasmith that's a pity you were aware of procedure. I hope you are OK now. I was at the time according to Dr Bart. I was chatting away. I can't remember anything so not sure if I was uncomfortable or not.

I got a call from the embryologist this morning to let me know that our 6th embryo made blast! So 3 were biopsied yesterday and 3 today. Now we just wait!! :)

That's fantastic news Alloverit. Well done. How did you find the procedure?

I'm done and dustered too, 7 eggs so hoping there's a good one in there !! Found the procedure very uncomfortable- thought I would be knocked out but it was more just drowsey.... feeling perfect now though so hoping the wait for fertilisation report goes quick.

15 eggs retrieved. back on Friday to scan to make sure no signs of OHSS. delighted. freezing is still a possibility at this stage. hope serasmith and Arainbow do ok today too. i had no bloating or anything this morning so I was afraid I might have ovulated already. Thankfully not.

How are you all doing?? Im 8 days into the tww and this day last cycle AF came along so i am praying that doesnt happen today! I dont know tho im having a few twinges and a bit of an upset tummy but we'll see! Best of luck to you all awaiting transfer and stimsAnd hope you all on the tww have not gone completely nuts just yet! Xx

I had 3 day transfer and was called every morning before I got to work with update. Was great to hear and not have to deal with it at work. I'm with CFC and good with calls especially as I only had two eggs so knew was a bit stressful and as a first timer.

Yeah Sera, even with ICSI they still have to leave everything to do it's job overnight. If you're doing a PGS cycle then there's no fresh transfer option, not for me anyway, maybe you can choose to try both together? We didn't, we're just doing PGS testing cycle.

That seems surprising that the didn't trek you that NYE, I'd be feeling the same as you for sure. Great you had such a positive review :)

Thanks Xanthe - the wait for that cal will be tough ! I presume if they decide you're not going to make it to day 5 and do a day three transfer instead that'll be a cal on day 2?

NYE I hadn't realised they never told you about the theee that's awful- surely they shouldHave told you that at the time?? Hopefully now with the new consultant it'll be onwards and upwards. Sounds like a lot of meds but will worth it if they get you where you want to be.

Serasmith- yep they are frozen for the three weeks. Then depending on results they will be destroyed :( or thawed for transfer or kept for a later date. You get a call the day after ec to tell you what fertilised..it can be any time of the day. That is day 1. Keep your phone with you! :) becon call on day 3 and 5 also.

When I my next cycle starts I have to start on burselin on day 1 and then gonal & menopur on day 2 . That's what he was saying to us earlier . I'll be on the highest dose of Gonal F 600 iu!! I'll prob be like a raving lunatic. He told us we have max 3 cycles left on diff options b4 we may need to look at the donor option for me . Going to try all I can with my depleted eggs b4 I get to that stage . I'm positive because the consultant was positive . I was a mess after I got the cancelled cycle news . Still think it was wrong that they didn't tell me I at least had follicles & eggs .

That's great news lulu rhay the sa was way up- that'll massively help chances with iui.

Rainbow your gas with the alarms !! I am so worried I'll sleep in tomorrow - I live down the country soAn hour and half journey to Clane so need to be up and on the road early!! I'm doing the dog on the food- went out for a massive feed of chicken wings - claiming it was good for me coz my dr told me to make sure I got lots of protein :) currently stuffing my face with a magnum too. !!

Xanthe that's mad it takes 3 weeks - presume they freeze what they have while the PGs is done so they?

In terms of knowing how many eggs were mature and how many fertilise - I presume that's a nextMorning call girls is it? We are doing icsi so I believe they'll inject them straight away but at what point do they decide if they've fertilised? Overnight? Jesus I really should have been better at asking my dr questions!!!

Thanks Xanthe :) good to know I can forget a bag if it happens :) Thanks Lulu :) Nyebride your update came in when I was typing, sorry I didn't see it. Looks like you had a comprehensive review and a good plan going forward x

Nye bride that sounds like a fab review! Im sorry youve to go ahain but delighted youve a good aolid plan!!!

I just collected meds this evening. Id forgotten how many there are holy moly!!! I was thinking the iui would be a bit of a nothing cycle holy momma! Af arriving now id say cd1 tomorrow Thurs latest. Excited to get going but wish it was icsi i was doing, worried im torturing myself with iui. We got dh sa back tomorrow its vastly improved in count but motility still an issue. I guess have to try this once!

Glad to hear from you Dreambaby and good you have reviee booked too, hope you get something from it.

Amazing news Jasdow!! Delighted to hear, well done :)

Replied to you over on PGS Xanthe, delighted for you :)

Well done on EC Betty. Florzinha you make me smile with your testing, hope it turns into a bfp.

Good luck stimming Tulip, as Sera said I was surprised how quickly it became easy.

I triggered last night too ladies, set five alarms to wake me up at the right time, went grand, in at 12 tomorrow, you're in v early Sera, think I'd like that, I've not packed yet Allo, will go do it now. Be thinking of you both Allo and Sera :) im feeling bloated now too and excited and a little nervous, hope we're all back with good news tomorrow evening :) so happy you mentioned the fasting Sera, think I'd have remembered, but had forgotten for a minute, maybe I should go set 5 more alarms ;) I was told to just bring socks and a dressing gown. Good luck girls x

Hi Ladies, I had my review this afternoon. I changed consultant which I'm delighted with , I'm now with Dr. H in Rmed. I have come away much more positive about the journey I'm on too. My previous cycle was cancelled due to poor response , at the time I was told my ovaries were asleep with no response . I was devastated but it now turns out I had 3 follicles and 3 eggs that grew to 11mm but then stopped . He basically said I didn't respond properly to the lower dosage of meds and this was nearly my natural response to a cycle . He has put me on DHEA , melatonin and COEnzyme Q10 600 mg for this month as I'm too close to period to start again and he thinks a break will do me good. He told me to start accupuncture and I think it's a flare cycle next .My AMH is .8 so very low so he thinks the DHEA may help this and we need to concentrate on growing eggs of good quality. I am focused now on losing weight and exercising as I need to drop two dress sizes .Sorry to hear of your news copperpot & deedehan.

I didn't bring a bag. Forgot all about it. Didn't need anything other than a pad in the end which I had in handbag. They provide you with a gown and slippers. You can't wear anything scented, fake tan, makeup or nail varnish.

Best of luck to you serasmith arainbow and alloverit!!! I'll be thinking of you :) looking forward to hearing more good news!

Just slippers, dressing gown, flagyl suppository and panadol. not the most exciting bag I've ever packed! might throw in a book in case there is any waiting around. did they tell you not to use any perfume or scented products? isn't it mad the way the eggs are affected by smell? I think it's kind of nice...almost like as if they are babies already.

Anything in particular in your bag? I wasn't given any instructions so just put in slippers and night dress, face wipes, pads, my meds (anti biotics and pain killers), and a heat pad. Anything else you were recommended to bring?

Aw tulip the very best of luck - great to finally get started !! Is this your first cycle? I made a bit of a drama of my first injection - but really there was no need it was absolutely grand. Felt so pleased with myself when it was done. Hard to believe that was only two weeks ago- amazing how quickly we become experts lol.

Alloverit I'm very like you- so sore and slow today. And zero energy. Had planned to go for a nice finalMeal before my 9 hours of fast (which I'll asleep for 6 of which lol) but not sure i have the energy.

Oh god Florzinha8 - I'm sure we will all be the same. I've zero patients - although I do have a phobia of pregnancy tests now after seeing so many negative ones so maybe I'll surprise myself.

the Clear Blue digital are notoriously unsensitive so not a hope of them catching an early result I'd imagine although im sure some have. Its so all consuming at the end of a normal cycle so cannot fathom what it must be like at the end of an IVF or IUI cycle. Sending you lots and lots of positive vibes x

Alloverit, I think it is a evaporation line as they say throw the stick away after 5 min. I'll do my very best to stop panicking and doing variety of hpts... Probably it is my first IVF and I am a bit out of control )

Florzinha FMU means first morning urine which is the only urine worth testing this early as the hormones are strongest after a nights sleep. Clear blue digital just aren't sensitive enough this early either. Try to hold off another few days and then test with a first response test as soon as you wake up. lulu's story should show that a bfn this early is just unreliable. Not sure whether I should tell you this but when I was pregnant with my son I did a first response test and it was negative. A few hours later when I went to throw it away I noticed there was a vary faint second line but I thought nothing of it as it didn't come up on time. That was 14 dpo. The next day I got a proper positive.

Alloverit, what is FMU? I did a digital clear blue, the one that shows weeks today. I did Accurate one yesterday afternoon - it was bfn but I looked at it before throwing away - it is a very very faint line.

Oh girls, such a good fertilisation/collected eggs rates today! Congratulations to all of you!!!

Deed, I am so so sorry.. awful news. Happy you have a plan in your mind though!

It is still BFN for me today, I am 6 days past 5 day embryo transfer. I'll skip a couple of days and test on the day 9 in the morning. Hope the result will change but trying to prepare myself at the same time.
